About 1.75 million home coffee makers manufactured by Bunn-O-Matic Corp. have been recalled because electrical failure can cause the plastic pour-in bowl and lid to melt or ignite, posing a burn hazard.

The company has received at least 17 reports of the bowl or lid melting.

Department and hardware stores nationwide sold the 10-cup Bunn coffee makers from February 2001 to August 2004.
